Compton Elementary School
Sheila: To even consider placing a T-Mobile cell phone tower on the school's playground without fully understanding the possible detrimental health issues such a tower could bring to the community is truly a disservice. Read the studies and consider the risks involved especially to children! The possible risks from cell phones are so similar (even worse) to the risks the tobacco industry covered up for years. It is sad when such possible risks are pushed aside for the almighty dollar. Even the hint of a possible risk should be enough to stop it from being placed on the school playground. There are other avenues to receive revenue that need to be examined first. Since this is not a positive note, it will probably not be posted. I just hope the person who reads it makes others aware of the severity of this issue.
